"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - WHAT A RIDE!" - Anonymous
Photography enables me to break down the boundaries between my internal and external experience. In a world of infinite images successfully capturing those that are personally compelling is magical. As I indulge my passion for travel the experience is intensified by the search for images that distill the moment, reflect the colors and textures of a place or that separates the dynamic detail from its surroundings.
I tend to continuously scan my environment for the arresting picture even if I'm not photographing. I am constantly evaluating what I see, isolating the component parts, gauging changing light and luxuriating in the movement of color through my life. I am, therefore, rarely bored. My primary challenge artistically is to capture visually the emotional content of what is this incredibly rich and complex world in which I live. When I succeed the exhilaration is indescribable.
